90 FURTHER NOTES ON THE KERRY FLORA. 



FAiplwrhia Uherna L. Glens N. and E. of Castle Island ; com- 

 mon in county further south. 



^Humulus Lupuhis L. In a hedge a mile or two from Killorglin, 

 on Killarney Road. 



I SalLv purpurea Li. Muckross. — IS. Smithian a V^iWd. Muckross, 

 Ross Island, &c. — S. herbacea L. Slieve Mish Mts., abundant. 



Empetrum nifirum L. Common as a mountain plant, and 

 descends to within a few feet of sea-level at Kerry Head. 



yeottia Nidus-avis Rich. In many spots by road-side near 

 Tore Mts. Muckross shrubberies, in several places. Ross Island. 

 Killarney. 



Cephalanthera ensifolia Rich. About half-a-mile E. of Brickeen 

 Bridge, Muckross. 



Orchis pijramidaJis L. Abundant in meadows near Mt. Hawk, 

 the Spa, and Bleunerville, near Tralee. Ardfert. Several spots 

 about Castlegregory. Ballyheige. — 0. latifolia L. Dmish Island, 

 Killarney. Clogherbrian. Tralee. There seems little to distinguish 

 this plant from 0. incarnata, except its spreading leaves. Are there 

 really two species ? 



Hahenaria conopsea Benth. Sparingly at Castlegregory. — H. 

 alhida R. Br. Sparingly along banks of River Flesk, and more 

 abundant where River Finuow joins it. — H. viridis R. Br. Near 

 Milltown. Ardfert. Castlegregory. — H. bifolia R. Br. and H. 

 chloroleuca Ridley. Both widely distributed ; bifolia seems the 

 rarer. 



'''Convallaria ma j alls L. Observed growing sparingly in Muckross 

 shrubberies, in one place only, west of the Abbey, where there is 

 every reason to suppose it was planted. I would hardly have referred 

 to it here, had not Smith reported it as growing in the woods round 

 the lakes, where I can only find Allium ursinum. I am afraid this 

 record must be classed among the author's numerous errors. 



\ Allium Scorodoprasum L. Thinly scattered through the Muck- 

 ross shrubberies, and found growing in great abundance in the 

 "Green," Sir T. Denny's park, Tralee, and along the adjoining 

 stream. Could Smith have possibly mistaken this conspicuous 

 plant, which he does not record, for Polygonum Bistorta, which he 

 places in the above locality ? 



Sparganium neglectum Beeby. I. Clogherbrian, near Tralee, &c. 

 Mr. Bennett kindly sent some fruits to Mr. Beeby, who confirmed 

 the plant, but found the seeds sterile. It seems as common in 

 Kerry as S. ramosum. 



Fotamofjeton nutans L. f. (P. 2Jolygo7iifolius var. linearis Syme). 

 Abundant in Long Range. — P. jwiggonifoliiis Pour. Submerged 

 form? in several spots, with the above. — P. rufescens var. maxim.us 

 Rohlz. ? Muckross boat-harbour, and bay outside it. Lower Lake, 

 Killarney. Bog-hole, Ross Island. — P. nitens Web., var. curvifolius 

 Hartm. Sparingly in lake, Castlegregory. — P. Zizii Roth. I. Doo 

 Lake, Muckross demesne ; and a form plentiful in River Laune 

 from tidal influence to near the Killarney Lakes. — P. fiabellatus 

 Bab. I. Castlegregory. Blennerville. 



Ruppia spiralis Hartm. I. Stream out of Castlegregory Lake,
